| I know they're known for match .22 pistols and started getting in to the AR market a few years ago but I haven't heard anything about their AR's. I have a chance to get a 6.8 SPC upper that was supposedly made by them. |

Baby and Housewife killers swear by them!  I don't think we're talking about the same company. The OP is asking about High Standard Manu. out of Texas, not H-S Precision out of S.D.. I've using HS parts since Brownells started carrying them. Decent stuff, no worries. |

I'm wondering about the build quality of their stripped lowers. When you build one, are their any fit issues with standard pins? How about upper/Lower fit? I have two. One is still stripped so I cannot say on it but the other the fit is tight but not where you need a hammer to get the pin in. No issues when I put mine together. |
| I have two stripped lowers and one of them I used mostly High Standard upper receiver parts (from Brownell's). Fit and finish are superb. Magwell is in-spec but slightly on the tight side (1st gen Pmags won't drop free unless you shave off the two nubs on the backside). The other lower I put an LMT complete upper and similarly has no issues. Both have negligible play between upper and lower. I like how there isn't a stupid looking animal, and it's one of the few receivers that will have TX on it. You should have no problems with their parts. I think their complete rifles are a bit overpriced, though. I believe a few of the folks at High Standard were former Colt employees that worked on AR-15s, so they know their stuff. |
